Transcription factor ChREBP, in complex with MLX, binds to carbohydrate-response element (ChoRE) located in the promoters of genes related to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentosephosphate pathway and lipogenesis, activating their transcription following stimulation with glucose, insulin-independently. In this article the mechanisms of ChREBP regulation and ChREBP functions under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions are described in detail. The possible use of ChREBP activity modulation as a therapeutic tool, e.g. in case of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes type 2 and cancers, is also discussed.
转录因子ChREBP与MLX形成复合物,与位于糖酵解、糖异生、磷酸戊糖途径和脂肪生成相关基因启动子中的碳水化合物反应元件(ChoRE)结合,在葡萄糖刺激后独立于胰岛素激活这些基因的转录。本文详细描述了ChREBP在生理和病理生理条件下的调节机制和功能。还讨论了调节ChREBP活性作为一种治疗工具的可能性,例如在非酒精性脂肪性肝病、2型糖尿病和癌症中的应用。
